Maybe things are different in London?

I went to a Khan fight to offer some local support, not to Khan. They segregated the fans as they came in, an announcement came over the speaker system about no racist chants etc not being tolerated and there was a big police presence.

Annoyed the hell out of me. Especially when a group of lads, all Asian, all sporting Khan tracksuits were sat in the opposing area. As the evening went on them were surrounded by police to protect them. They sat about grinning over the shoulders of the police as a few people were escorted out. The whole event had an air of wtf about it.

Nothing against them or Khan but, by forcing the fans to segregate and making an issue about Khans colour it draws attention to something that wasn't a problem until other people made it so. I've never been segregated like that in my life.

I don't like Warren and his over-protection of fighters. It harms the fighter and the quality of the sport in general and I don't like bandwagons, so called fans who just sign up to a sole fighter based on whatever link they think they have with them.

Those who support Khan because of his ethnicity annoy me just as much as those who don't support him because of his ethnicity.

Which is pretty much the feeling I have toward pacfans in general. Hell at least they have a fighter that's done something to shout about.
Just about sums it up for me and I couldn't give a phuck if a fighter is pink with green spots, if he can back up his mouth in the ring he gets my support if he Kharnt he don't.
